Once upon a song book

My little girl loves Disney Princesses and she also loves to sing so what better to get her than a book that includes all her favourite princesses singing their famous songs.

This Disney book is from the princess range and features a hard back book on one side with six different buttons to press on the other side that all have a picture of a different princess and play a different song. The back of the book invites us to, "Dance and dreams with the Disney Princesses. Press the buttons and sing along to 6 magical songs.

When we first got this book I was a bit disappointed to be honest as I thought there would be more to it than there was. I thought that the book would contain lots of stories and adventures that the princesses were having but it turns out that each page is just a different princess and the song words written down to her song. There is a picture on each page of the princess that matches the picture on each of the buttons to press so you know which song goes with which Princess. You can then press that button and hear just the music and sing along with the words yourself. I guess for just a song book it is ok but I was expecting a bit more.

The songs included are:

The More we get together - Ariel

If you're happy and you know it - Ariel

Go round and round the castle - Sleeping Beauty

Home sweet Home - Snow White

Hail hail our friends are here -Princess Tiana

Beautiful dreamer -Cinderella

The song only plays for a bar or two but that is enough. You can always press it again if you want to but then if you've had enough there is a little button you can press and it will stop the music playing. We've had this book for over a year now and the music still plays perfectly as its one of those books that once it stops playing you cannot replace it.

The buttons are arranged as a design on a note shape which I think is a nice idea and the pages in the book are lovely and colourful and tell a story in themselves so I think that is good. For example, Snow White is surrounded by and the dwarfs playing instruments and all her little animal friends.

A cute little book that my little girl still likes to look at from time to time.
